WINDOWV-SHADE BRACKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 22, 1914.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES L. BECK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Rebersburg, in the county of Center and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inVVindew-Shade Brackets; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in window shadebrackets for supporting shade poles and comprises a simple and efiicientdevice of this nature having various details of construction,combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fullydescribed, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specificallydefined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a bracket made in accordance with myinvention, and Fig. 2 is an end view.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates the frame of a window having headed lugs or screws Bprojecting therefrom and spaced apart. Each bracket is made of a singlepiece of wire, which is bent on itself at its longitudinal center,forming double hooks C and D adapted to receive the pintles at the endsof shade rolls, and each arm of the wire is bent at right angles at Eand the shank portions F are parallel to each other and each end of thewire terminates in a right angled end H. Wires, designated by letter K,are bent to form eyes K at their longitudinal centers and each has aneye L formed at its ends, the central eye being engaged by the screw Band held as shown in the elevation in the drawings and the eyes at theends are adapted to receive the parallel arms of the bracket. Said evesare disposed at an angle, less than a right angle, to the arms whichpass therethrough and are adapted to frictionall engage the oppositeedges of the eyes and hold the bracket in an adjusted position while theangled ends H serve as means for limiting the movement of the bracket inone direction. The portion of the bracket which is bent at right anglesat E is adapted to contact with the wire K to limit the movement of thebracket in the opposite direction.

By the provision of a curtain supporting bracket made in accordance withmy invention, it will be noted that means is afforded whereby thebrackets may be adjusted to different widths of windows and lengths ofpoles as may be desired, the brackets being held by friction in adjustedposition.

What I claim to be new is:

A bracket for window shades consisting of a wire which is bent uponitself to form a socket for supporting the end of a shade roller, theshank portions of the wire bent at right angles and having two parallelportions terminating in angled ends, bearing members consisting each ofa wire bent to form an eye at its center and fastening means passingthrough said eye and its ends each bent to form an eye at an angle tothecentrally disposed eye and adapted to receive and engage the parallelportions of the shade roller supporting wire.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.

CHARLES L. BECK.
